...not to rain on your parade buuuut... closest i can think of is if my heart had wings. really i wanted to post that pic but thought i should still remain on topic.

With Yuu writing the scenario Key could finally make a nakige that make people sad(or at least a good nakige).

It's been bothering me that Fuwanovel uses HTTP for the main website and all subdomains (including these forums) and immediately downgrades all secure connections to HTTP via a redirect (301). This is concerning because all requests such as logins, sending session cookies etc. are transmitted in plaintext, making it trivial for a man-in-the-middle attack to steal user credentials (and users tend to re-use those on multiple sites even though they should know better) or hijack sessions, they can read all messages and intercept or modify them at will, including sending the user to their own site while making it appear as fuwa (there are also many other good reasons to switch everything to HTTPS , but these are currently the most pressing issues). To prevent this, HTTPS should be enabled everywhere and should be enforced by enabling HSTS to avoid attacks such as those of sslstrip. (ignore the next paragraph if you already how to fix this issue and just haven't come around to do so yet - though at least the first part shouldn't take very long at all and the second isn't too bad either) One possible solution: Since Fuwanovel already uses Cloudflare, you can fix part of the connection very easily: Go to Cloudflare -> Crypto, set SSL to Flexible (should already be that way, really we want Full (strict), but that might involve more steps on your part, see below), and enable HSTS on all subdomains (hard to go back on, but you shouldn't ever want to go back on it anyways), you also might want to redirect everything to HTTPS one way or another. This fixes the issue for the connection between users and Cloudflare, however the connection between Cloudflare and your servers is still insecure, so make sure your web servers support HTTPS (might involve some tweaking of configurations or proxying in the worst case if your web server doesn't support it) and you have a valid certificate set up (certificates from Let's Encrypt are free and easily automatable, don't see a reason not to use them), then set the Cloudflare SSL setting to Full (strict). Now the connections between Cloudflare and your servers are secure as well. (You could optionally set up Authenticated Origin Pulls to make sure you're only responding to traffic coming through Cloudflare.)

I have to say that this VN is amazing. Actually, this must be the first Clockup VN that I've truly enjoyed (I think Clockup is one of the most overrated companies out there, but that's another story). I'm a fan of forced sex in VNs, so, I planned to play it for fap purpose. In the end, I didn't fap to any scene because I was just so concentrated on what was going on in there and I was in awe seeing how amazingly well-written the eroge, specially the protagonist, was written. Sadly, we probably won't ever see Natasu no Kusari translated into English because of pure prejudice against this VN theme. That's such a shame, since that's precisely the same reason we probably won't ever see Boku no Kanojo wa Gatenkei... in English.

This will be glorious. Of course, I don't mean the game itself. I mean the reactions of the Keyfags when they read it.

Agreed. I suggest you refrain from doing do, Ratboi.

Any recomendation? Something like Lamune, without "He/She returned after long absence." If possible with interesting character, without clumsy busty deredere or noisy loli. But if story is good, i don't mind. Btw, utsuge/nakige no-good. I want moeblob, where drama lasts not longer 30min 15min, or even better without it entirely. That idea. いつまでも、どこまでも…… Thanks in advance. With that criteria, kind of hard to find something good by yourself...

He make ends that don't have the traditional "And they lived happily ever after", like in Hatsusaku that So mostly people are pissed because all the happy moments that they live with the heroine ends in a bitter note, but i like that to break the perfect world of happiness of vn universe, i really like the end of Nagisa for exemple.

It's not your fault I'm so sensitive. I guess I didn't make it clear enough how important a happy ending was. No problem, thanks for the warning about KC. I don't mind some drama provided there's a happy ending - otherwise there's no real emotional investment and a happy ending isn't as enjoyable without that investment. I can't stand over the top drama and unhappy endings. My real world has had far too much drama for my liking and I use anime and VNs to escape drama so I simply have a weak constitution for it. Thanks. I might skip it for now then.

I have no idea what you are talking about Asonn Well, there sadly isn't many translated games like these, so if you can't read Japanese, I don't have a very long list. Untranslated games that are pretty great though: Nikuniku (Lots of guro, but the game also has a pretty nice story.) Tokage no Shippo Kiri (A strange, but fantastic game if you like dark themed stuff. A really good and mind bending psychological game.) Maggot Baits (Crazy as hell. Good story, lots of gore. A little longer than the previous ones, and also harder to read, but probably one of the better games in this genre.) Ryakudatsusha no Inen (Playing it right now, so I'm not 100% done yet, but so far it hasn't been as dark as the previous games. Still, it has plenty of gore, and some fantastic art.) Guro Dere (Absolutely absurd game, but it's hilarious. Humoristic guro, doesn't get much better than that, lol.) Rettou Kan (Straight up guro nukige. If you just want dark H content, this is literally the best thing ever. If you need a story connected to it, and not just brutal H content, stay the hell away from this.) Sukui no Serenade (From the makers of Nikuniku. It's a seriously twisted game, though I haven't played it all yet, so I can't say too much about it atm. It seems great though.) Dasaku and a few other games from Cyclet also have lots of gore, though I haven't played those yet, so I can't comment on whether they are good or not at the moment. If you want purely translated games, the people above already mentioned some. You also have Euphoria, which has some gore, though it's rather minimal compared to the stuff I have mentioned so far. There is also Dustmania, though that is simply a short guro nukige. No real merrit beyond gory H scenes.

@Dergonu @Kawasumi those maniacs play a lot of gore games, I bet they can help you out

That's not particularly unusual. There are many intelligent high school students out there, it's just they're only ever recognized by employers and college admission officers. My apologies though. I knew it had a very depressing outcome, but I thought the complexity of the characters would have been enough to carry your enjoyment. That seems to be far from the case this time. I did miss the part of your post where recommendations were suppose to have a happy ending, so that was complete negligence on my part. I suppose it would feel like I was understating the level of frustration one can feel towards the ending. I really didn't think it was that big of deal (at least not to me), but my brain tends to lean a little bit more toward the logical side than the emotional one, so my interest in the characters greatly exceeded my disappointment in the turnout. I don't think I met anyone who expressed much frustration with the ending either (might be because I didn't look hard enough). I'm not trying to justify my views over yours or anything like that, just explaining how I perceived it and the reason behind my choice of wording. I will try to be more careful next time. Oh and you might actually want to avoid Kokoro Connect. I don't have the faintest recollection of how it ended, so my guess is that it was probably incomplete. KC is more lighthearted than WA2, but still contains some not-so-insignificant drama. The romance may or may not make it worth watching. I'd recommend either waiting until you can stomach another tearjerker or just not watch it at all.

Theres probably a similar topic out there but i just want to ask... On VNs with romance...how attached do you get to a heroine? I played a lot of VN and i never finished some because i felt...bad for going for another heroine. Examples would be...em...Isuzu from Hoshimemo...Maya from NobleW-....wait forget that one i was too excited for Masamune's route then Basically how attached did you get to a heroine (or hero i guess) in a visual novel?...like from "Meh, to the next" to "I.....I can't do it"

Oh my, is it really Nijima Yuu? the mad man?

Well I got Enkidu too lol

That's not utsuge, mate.

Too bad 2025 is such a long way off.

Provided you're happy with Japanese untranslated, there's a couple of good osananajimis in Clover Day's that the MC grew up alongside (Tsubame and Izumi). And a few others in it that did do the absence for years and then came back (Hekiru and Hikaru). And a few step sisters that are effectively osananjimis too (Anri and Anzu). Let's face it, all the heroines in it are some kind of osananajimi. BTW, love the graphic. I'm with you, that's one of the best type of heroine routes ever, with a tinge of Tsundere is nice too.

Just as a correction. Gare(jei) translated Himawari together with Conjueror. You can read about the background of the project on Mangagamers blog, where both wrote a bit about Himawari. Links: Gare's post Conjueror's post

One word of advice, once you get this tech issue sorted out, keep a low profile. The company behind this game likes to issue out C&Ds against fan translations.

This is likely going to be another 50 hour colossus, judging by the staff. That's a much more difficult game to do a simultaneous translation on than a short title like Harmonia. I would assume that a translation will come much later.

Happy Birthday to @VirginSmasher Have a good one.

Have an adorable Ibuki :3

Yeah IMHHW has something that might fit your taste.

Oh my god, I'm actually holding back tears...... Mangagamer actually let me preorder Rance 5D/VI. I can't believe they actually took my money.

Felt like sharing this amazing song with you all :3

Dont worry Im enjoying it. I get to show people my ideas and I hope ill be able to make something people would enjoy from it. but we will have to see. anyway thanks! im trying my best!

I know I already posted on the birthday thread but still. Happy Birthday @VirginSmasher.

@VirginSmasher Happy Birthday man!, hope you have a great day

@VirginSmasher happy birthday you beautiful bastard!

After 14 hours of S;G 0 I have found my new favourite VN of all times.

Added a few VN's that weren't on my list, thank you very much for the thread! I'll definitely welcome some twin heroines!

I forgot to mention vita games. Never thought that Conception 2 and Trillion also make it appearance on PC. Try them. And Demon Gaze 1-2 if it is ever will be on PC.

Late to say this, but happy sweet seventeen there, @VirginSmasher. Hope you had good year ahead there.

I'm also playing Steins;Gate 0 and Steins;Gate is also far and away my favorite VN. Shower me with the praise I deserve for this. No, wait, don't, that would be really weird.

Lots of "indeed..."

This is such a great anime.
